If the unit does not seem to be responding normally, try putting the
cordless handset in its charger. If it does not seem to respond, do the
following (in the order listed):

• Disconnect the power to the telephone base.

• Disconnect the cordless handset battery, and spare battery, if appli-

cable.

• Wait a few minutes.

• Connect power to the telephone base and charger.

• Re-install the telephone base and charger and place the cordless

handset into the charger.

• Wait for the cordless handset to re-establish its connection with the

base. To be safe, allow up to one minute for this to take place.
